Guinness Red Harvest Stout

That's not unusual, probably, for U.S. beer drinkers who have as many years of experience as I do. These days, wonderful stouts abound, but back in the day Guinness Extra Stout was the one you'd most likely run into at the store or pub, while others were more like surprise discoveries. Often, Guinness was the only real alternative to standard pale lagers in many of the night spots I haunted. I grew to love it, and although I have since then ventured into an ever-expanding beer universe, I'll still sip a Guinness now and then.
